Hi all! We have been experiencing an issue on site where threads have been missing the latest postings. The platform host Vanilla are working on this issue. A workaround that has been used by some is to navigate back from 1 to 10+ pages to re-sync the thread and this will then show the latest posts. Thanks, Mike.

    Hi,

    At the end of my tether with RSA. I rang them and they couldnt answer me, told me to submit by mail. Have sent 2 mails, weeks gone by and no answer.

    Long story short, I have 2 scenarios:
    1. My sister-in-law has full Italian licence. Is she qualified to seat with me?
    2. My mother-in-law has full Argentine licence. Is she qualified to seat with me?

    Both have had longer than 2 years.

    Both RSA.ie and citizensinformation.ie doesnt specify anything, just:
    "the person who’s with you must hold a full driving licence for the category of vehicle you are driving for a continuous period of 2 years."

    or
    "Car drivers with a learner permit must be accompanied at all times by, and be under the supervision of, someone with a current driving licence for a car. Also, the person accompanying you must have had the driving licence for at least 2 years."

    And the Road Traffic Act doesnt specify anything either.

    Not related to my situation, but nothing is specified in any documents that this licence needs to be in-date, ie not expired... can someone point me to docmented, factual information on any of the above. It seems RSA cant even answer me. TIA.

    I would imagine it's a full irish drivers licence you need.

    There are different rules of the road for different countries.

    The one I'm seeing broken an awful lot is turning right on a red light. While that maybe acceptable in other countries it's not here.

    For your own sake get someone with an Irish licence.
